JB’s World

2020 has been a year like
none other in recent memo-
ry with drought, bushfires,
flooding rains, and topped off
worst of all by the dreaded
COVID-19 virus which in
many ways has caused greater
havoc than all the others put
together!

Hopefully the worst is be-
hind us, but who knows?

But we all need to be opti-
mistic and look for better and
happier days ahead.

Outstanding Academic Success

Benjamin Crook The class of 2020 will very soon find out their long-awaited ATAR results.The ATAR is a pathway for all students in NSW to gain
access to the University of their choice.
(College DUX) At Holy Cross College, Ryde however, there have been at least 39 students who have already received an early offer to study in
2021. This equates to 61% of students in the cohort following an ATAR pathway that has already gained access to the University of
University of Sydney - Bachelor of their choice which demonstrates excellent academic standards and rigour. This number does not include the many other students
Science and Doctor of Medicine who have chosen a trade pathway or the ADF for example.
This is an outstanding achievement for our students and teachers. As a result of their hard work, diligence and ability to manage
Daniel Raymond adversity the young men are the heroes of their own story. Special mention to the careers team headed by Mr Baird who has guided
the next generation towards the start of their next chapter of life after school.

Holy Cross and Macquarie University also have a partnership known as ‘Leaders and Achievers’. Here are some of the

we want the best for the young men that wear the Holy Cross College uniform each day.
